Harbeth Super HL5 Plus speakers & integrated amp pairing recommendations

+1 for the Vinnie Rossi LIO with the HL5+.  I heard this combo at the Newport show a few years ago and it’s burned into memory.

I would look at the Modwright KWI 200 if you want an integrated.  It's a fantastic piece, and you could prob fit in your budget if you can find one used.

Good luck.

Thanks to everyone for their input so far. I appreciate your comments.

The Pass would definitely be your best bet. Don’t waste time or money on anything else. The Pass will control those speakers with authority.

Your should try to audition the new Aesthetix Mimas. I was startled when I plugged it into my SHL5+. I have been using an Ayre AX7E which is a really good match with the Harbeth’s to begin with. Before I ordered the Mimas I tried the Hegel 360, Musical Fidelity MS 6i, Belles Aria and an Aesthetix Calypso with Quicksilver Siver 88’s. The Mimas is the best of the bunch to me. YMMV.  Good Luck with your search!
